Go on, give us a clue!

Assuming you don't know the donor year, at least tell us what year you ordered that was wrong...

There were more than one type of shoe for sierras
Engine size/ year/ saloon/estate
Measure your drum diameter and shoe thickness

What they said - its engine size and spec that matters more than age when it comes to brakes

I have a list of VRMs which I use depending on what parts I need as most places need a reg number when ordering parts. Sierra for gearbox and diff. Mk3 Escort front discs for my rear discs. Hyundai Applaud rear calipers. Mondeo front brakes. Peugeot 406 Coupe engine, etc..... I picked appropriate details from EBay motors.....
